Delete: No, Lizard, you're inferring he played a notable role. Unfortunately, we can't infer someone might meet the GNG, there has to be positive proof he does, and the answer to "It can be hard to come by sources for players who played way back when" is "Then an article cannot be sustained on those players if those sources don't materialize." Passing mentions can't be used to support notability, and quotes from subjects can't be used to support the notability of the subjects. He obviously fails the pertinent NSPORTS criteria, and the sources listed only are passing mentions that don't satisfy the requirements of the GNG.

WP:GNG.
